3.5

a compelling and unsatisfying mystery. i really enjoyed the unique style of the "evidence" chapters. lots of interesting questions but few answers, although i feel logically theres kind of only one conclusion you can come to, despite how open-ended the book is. overall worth the read, though idk if i would call it enjoyable
